HI List
I am researching a family story…….
Frank BURGESS b. 1859 Somerset England
m. 1881 Crick England - Mary Ann HERBERT
1881 Census - lived Swansea Town Wales……..engine driver
1901 Census - lived Barry Wales….engine driver
1903 Family moved to East London South Africa
I am told that Frank drove the first train through the Severn Tunnel with an
'aristocrat of some sort' on board………??
Any suggestions/ideas and/or any info about Frank, his family or his engine driving career
is much appreciated
Thanks

I don't know if you can go on Welsh newspapers on line but if you can there
is an item saying about seven tunnel opening 4 December 1886
